Nissan to recall about 300,000 vehicles in US to fix console panel

Sept 4 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co Ltd’s North America unit said it would recall about 300,000 vehicles in the United States and 28,000 vehicles in Canada to adjust a console panel.

The affected vehicles have a console trim panel that may catch the driver's shoe and potentially impede smooth pedal operation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on its website. (1.usa.gov/1gTUbLb)

Nissan North America is expected to begin the recall by mid-October, the U.S. vehicle safety regulator said.

“We have had an accident with injury related to this issue,” Nissan North America spokesman Steve Yaeger said on Friday.
